Shadowrun. Cool. That's my jam.

I've got to play that one they put out on the PC about 20 years ago still. It's on my to-do list. Still haven't gotten around to it even though I go back and play the Super Nintendo and Genesis versions every 5 years or so. I liked it when two completely different versions of the same game came out for different systems and they were both really good. I don't think they do that anymore.

They both had some pretty good jams. I wouldn't rate either OST on my top 10 or anything, but they did have a unique sound and both of them made good use of the sound capabilities of each system.

It's funny that they call that tune "Morgue". I guess it does play while you're in the morgue, but since I played most of my time playing in the first area on that weekend my bros and I rented it, this was just kind of the "street" theme to me.

I think the equivalent song on the Genesis game would be "Downtown Seattle".

The difference in tone shows the difference in gameplay between the 2. The Genesis version is more action heavy where the SNES version is more laid back and puzzle focused. Lots of running back and forth unless you know what you're doing on both games for sure, but I find the SNES version harder to cheese. Once you realize that high-level hacker jobs are a better way to make money than any other way by a time factor of anywhere from 10 to 1,000 and you put all the money you can into the right gear to let you win those all of the time, the Genesis version pretty much flies right by if you know what you need to do.

The Super Nintendo did have one hell of a tune to go along with that intro sequence...

Thanks I did not know this, I think lloking back its easy to look down on it
the old samples are kinda silly maybe 'bad' quality but the effort is there, you can see the genius in creating tunes with the technology and computer chip limitation of these times

Very interesting stuff from Nintendo and Sega

Yeah... I think it's one of those "you had to be there" things.

I've posted some of the songs from newer Indie releases and they're objectively better in nearly every way. But like you said, it's amazing what they were able to do with that code on those old systems and the tech they had available back in the day.

A lot of kids are playing the old games now though. And not just the speedrunners. I don't think many of them are ever going to go back and play Atari games, and I really wouldn't blame them, but even going back to the original Nintendo there was a lot of great games that came out.

The kids are pushing back against the always-online/microtransacation bullshit, and the fact that Nintendo announced it will be charging $100 for new games going forward is just making that worse for them.
